The Ministry Of Apostle Paul

THE CONVERSION OF SAUL (ACTS 9: 1 -19)

  Paul left for Damascus. As he got near to the city of Damascus in the afternoon, Jesus appeared to him in a form of dazzling light which shown around him. This made him to fall down. He heard a voice, which called his name “Saul, Saul why are you persecutingme”. Then he said ” who are you Lord”, the voice said that he was Jesus whom he was persecuting, adding that he should go into the city to the street called straight”, to Judas house where he would be told what to do next. His companions stood speechless with surprise because they heard the voice but did not see any body. When Paul rose up, he found that he was totally blind. His companions then led him by hand into Damascus where he stayed for three days without sight, Praying and fasting. 

 The Lord appeared to one of the Christians in Damascus called Ananias to go to a street called straight, and ask for the house of a man called Judas. There he will find a man of Tarsus named Saul; praying.

So, Ananias went to the house of Judas and found Saul. He laid his hands on him and prayed for him. Immediately, something like scales fell from his eyes and Saul regained his sight. He was was filled with the holy spirit and was baptized, and he took food and was strengthened.

Immediately Saul was converted to Christianity, he started preaching to the Jews in Damascus about Jesus Christ that He is the Son of God.
